Don’t laugh: teaching Henry IV plays, do you give a content note about the fat-shaming? Earnest question and I can imagine some may appreciate being forewarned about it (though I appreciate this makes me sound like a parody liberal English lecturer)

I haven't hitherto? but I know others have had students bring it up. (Am more interested in the performativity of it - Falstaff is made of padding but Sinklo as the Beadle in Part 2 is playing his cadaverous self and being far more savagely insulted.)
